Add to end of first paragraph of "Business career":
Luciano identified another opportunity in the exchanges industry at Caledonia, buying into the Chicago Mercantile Exchange after it shifted from a co-operative to a listed company, which became one of Caledonia's best investments.[1]
(This text had previously been in the article but got lost in a recent overhaul.)
In the third paragraph of the "Business career" section, I believe ", who describes himself as not being good with people,[2]" is inappropriate, given WP:BLPPUBLIC and the source article's tangential mention of the information.
Not done for now Unfortunately I can't access the Financial Review source. Could you please provide a quote of the relevant section? Rusalkii (talk) 01:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Broadly speaking, both the third and fourth paragraphs of "Business career" (from "Luciano, who describes himself..." through "...gate at VGI’s office.") appear to cite opinion pieces inappropriately, per WP:RSOPINION. I think it may make sense to remove or at least compress and contextualize appropriately, e.g. "A 2022 opinion piece in the Financial Review alleged that Luciano was 'paranoid' about personal and information security." Further clarification on the panic room allegation has also emerged, with reporting in The Australian that Luciano has stated that the panic room was actually a soundproofed meeting space.[3]
Done Well, that's an entertainingly meta source reporting on the Wikipedia page. I've added the opinion piece context. I'm not sure if it's best to remove the panic room or say that he said it was a meeting room - I've removed it for now. Rusalkii (talk) 01:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
In the penultimate paragraph, update "The merger has been described" to "One VGI shareholder described the merger", per the cited source.[5]
In November 2023, Luciano resigned from VGI Partners.[6] Luciano registered two new businesses, RML Partnership and Rosca Capital Management, in 2024, stating he had begun managing money again for his family.[3]
Closing this, feel free to ping me if you can get a copy of the relevant information in the Financial Review. Thank you for your patience and for working through edit requests. Rusalkii (talk) 01:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rusalkii: Thanks so much for your help! An archive of the Financial Review source is accessible here. (It links to another Financial Review article, which is accessible via archive here.) Here's the relevant quote: "The character appraisal has even come from, er, Luciano himself, who told Chanticleer last year: 'I am not good with people ... I manage to annoy people in a short period of time.'" Let me know if I can provide anything else to help! Thanks again. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:08, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hmm. I think given that it was quoted in one article and then used again in another article suggests that it's at least slightly more than an irrelevant aside. I am inclined to keep this, as it's a self-description, attributed as such in text, and used to contextualize other information. Rusalkii (talk) 22:30, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
